A poll by uComms has highlighted significant regional support for a ban on duck shooting.
The poll of 1031 regional and metro residents in early 2021, highlighted the majority support a ban, with the strongest support for a ban coming from regional Victoria.
The poll also showed:
-
Most holiday makers from metro areas would be put off holidaying in an area where there was shooting
-
Over 60% of both city and country respondents said they would feel unsafe undertaking other recreational activities where shooting takes place.
-
More voters would be more likely than less likely to vote Labor if duck shooting was banned
-
The premier is already viewed less favorably in regional areas than metro and his support of duck shooting paints him less favourably than favourably.
